Finding it exceptionally hard to focus at work. Unplugging for the weekend helped immensely, but the world goes on. Had a LOT of travel plans already set up for this year, re-thinking some of the destinations/modes of travel.

I do have good news to lighten things up, 'cuz goddamn.

1. Planning on getting engaged this year, but thinking sooner than later. Not sure if we want to elope or have a small ceremony. After talking about it over Valentines more, I've found myself excited at the prospect in a way I wasn't expecting.

2. Attended a protest. My paranoia is a bit much afterwards, so I'll re-evaluate as others come up. Also in the boat of 'not sure what else to do'. Have found controlled breathing to be imperative to keeping blood-pressure down throughout the day.

3. Bought some DVDs, and boy it feels good to just own digital media. Of the stash, got a Shrek movie bundle. Apparently some of the translations are damn hilarious.

Would like to get into a house again soon. Given events, missing being on the hairy edge of rural.

Interest rates say wait a while.
